"I just wanted to drop you a note in writing to say a huge thank you for all your support with our event this week at the Millennium.
We had an absolutely fantastic evening, and it was certainly the talk of the exhibition this week from our clients!! The tour was an absolute hit with everyone, and really set the scene and made the evening all the more special for everyone.
Particular thanks to you and the team at the Millennium. Everyone was extremely welcoming and helpful, and I know just worked as one big team for the day before and day of the event. Gareth and the other staff on the night were great, and we hope they enjoyed doing something a little different.
Thanks to you for all your help in the lead up to this week. It has been a pleasure working with you, and everything got organised with such ease. We knew we didn't have to worry and everything would go to plan - which it did!! The recommendation of the market was fantastic, and we'll share with you photos of the shopping trip and the night itself!!
Thanks again to everyone involved from all of us,

About Us

Principality Stadium, Cardiff

Since opening in June 1999, Principality Stadium has
welcomed, on average, over 1.3 million visitors per year. Sporting
the first fully-retractable roof in the UK, the venue is
at the leading edge as a multi-purpose, multi-faceted
event venue.

As early as 1994 a group redevelopment committee was set up to
look at redeveloping the Wales National Stadium and linking the
redevelopment to the regeneration of West Cardiff. In 1995, the
Welsh Rugby Union won the right to host the 1999 Rugby World Cup
against severe competition from rival bids from the Southern
Hemisphere. A review of the National Stadium at Cardiff Arms Park
(designed in 1962) showed that it had long since been overtaken;
with Twickenham and Murrayfield having developed stadia with
capacities of 75,000 and 67,000 respectively and France about to
build the Stade de France with a capacity of over 80,000.

Capacity in the old National Stadium was 53,000 (including
11,000 standing in the East Terrace). New safety regulations would
mean that the capacity would be further reduced by 'all-seater'
arrangements. There were no spectator facilities in the old Stadium
other than toilets. It was decided that the new Stadium should have
a roof to accommodate a requirement for multi-usage and also a
natural grass pitch for rugby. Therefore a retractable roof was
incorporated into the design brief. The only other retractable roof
in Europe at the time was at the Amsterdam Arena (with a capacity
of 50,000); the home of Ajax Football Club.

The Stadium boasts a UEFA 5-Star rating and has hosted
matches from two Rugby World Cups including the Final in
1999, witnessed two Wales Grand Slam successes in the RBS Six
Nations, staged six showpiece FA Cup Finals plus hosted the major
artists of the music business with a plethora of major concerts and
motorsports events on its CV.

The installation of a partition drape system in July 2005 now
means that the bowl of the Stadium can be used for
multiple concert mode configurations and for staging
exhibitions. Principality Stadium will also played its part in the
London 2012 Olympics as a host venue for the football
competition.

Principality Stadium is established as a world class must play,
must visit venue and has played home to five major sporting bodies
over the last eight years.
